Chapter 1376: Chapter 1376

Such is the nature of all-out war waged by large empires: once it enters what is called "garbage time," it cannot be resolved in a short while.

Quicksand Empire’s tolerance is very small, so the period of using cannon fodder didn’t last very long. It persisted for only a few months. Quicksand Empire is called an empire because it has a sixth tier and covers a vast territory.

However, its location in the desert, which is unsuitable for the survival of other creatures, is exactly why no one has ever managed to annihilate Quicksand Empire. Their concern for Divine Spirits differs from that of Du You; many nations do not believe in the existence of Divine Spirits.

And during this "garbage time," Du You’s movements were somewhat restricted. He often traveled between Earth and the Yalan World.

At some point, Du You discovered that the sisters were now able to enter other worlds without him. The source of thɪs content is 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩

Of course, not just any world would do; they could only enter worlds where Du You had established spatial passages, and they were limited to traveling through these spatial passages without leaving the confines of their territories—a restriction for their absolute followers.

Additionally, when Du You was in the Yalan World, the sisters could also come to Earth. But they had to stay within the cities with established spatial passages to the Yalan World and within the areas influenced by their territories.

Perhaps in Earth’s calculations, that counted as being in the same world. This way, Du You’s time became much more flexible. Having to stay within his territory was only necessary when condensing skills.

With the time difference in his territory, he quickly completed the condensation of skills. After some time, Du You and the sisters gradually finished perfecting their abilities. Next was the need for a long period to adapt to their own power. Once adapted, the next phase of elevation would begin—an experience Du You was already quite familiar with.

However, having rested for a long time, Du You wanted to do something after a long break. As he watched others busy themselves, he gradually became eager to act.

One day, Du You suddenly saw a mission on the Magic Network, so he summoned the sisters.

"Take a look at this mission, seems like it fits us quite well. Moreover, the Crystal Coins for our next advancement might be completely replenished through this mission."

Now, if they wanted to obtain Crystal Coins quickly, the best way was to hunt down a large number of sixth-tier enemies. If they relied solely on sixth-tier missions, it would be uncertain how long it would take—which was why others progressed slowly.

"Subduing traitors, huh? It seems that few people take on such tasks. After all, these traitors were once Professionals, and they understand us, other Professionals, very well," said Lin Yucha with some hesitation.

Du You nonchalantly replied, "It’s even better that they understand us—we’re different from ordinary Professionals. Our combat strength is quite formidable. If they treat us as ordinary Professionals, then they will be the unfortunate ones in the end." This was why Du You chose this mission.

"Moreover, the points for these kinds of subjugation missions are very high. Completing this one would suffice for our point accumulation for the next ten years." This was another one of Du You’s thoughts.

If the mission points weren’t completed swiftly, it would always feel quite uncomfortable, as if being pressed down by matters.

"I see, alright then, I understand. But we still need to make proper preparations."

Lin Yucha picked up the data in hand and began to review it, which indicated that a group of Earth’s Professionals had been tainted by an evil world, eventually choosing betrayal. The world that tainted them seemed to be related to Demons.

According to Earth’s compilation, there are three types of Demons: Abyss Demons, Hell Demons, and Chaos Demons.

Abyss Demons are what Du You and the others usually encountered, one of the oldest types of Demons.

Hell Demons are as ancient as Abyss Demons, but with distinct characteristics, easily identifiable at a glance. All Hell Demons are enveloped in green Hellfire, making it impossible for them to hide.

Furthermore, Hell Demons wherever they go, bring a massive amount of evil aura, contaminating everything around them.

The most dangerous are the Chaos Demons, who rarely enter Other Worlds themselves. If they discover an Other World, they would choose a spokesperson and lend their power to this person through a contract.

This person would be continually tainted and strengthened by their power, and then go on to contaminate more individuals. Over time, those wielding Demon powers would become corrupted in nature and transform into agents of destruction, wreaking havoc across worlds. This is why they are known as Chaos Demons. A world thrown into chaos would eventually be influenced by the world’s will and consumed by them.

The situation this time very likely involved the influence of Chaos Demons in the background.

The number of traitors totaled several dozen, led by the brothers Luyali and Malosa, who were once members of the Ou Union. Luyali is a Demon Wizard, while his brother Malosa is an Undead Summoner.

These two, leading their subordinates, have been eroded by Demon powers. Unfortunately, their plans were exposed while resisting Demons, and they fled without a trace after being discovered.

At that time, they were still Professionals, thus they could enter other worlds using their Professional abilities. However, once Earth’s will recognized them as traitors, their Professional abilities were sealed, but still, they fled to other worlds with their innate powers blended with Demon powers.

These traitors possessed a part of Professional abilities, meaning some unique skills.

Additionally, the powers from other worlds, when mixed, could either be stronger or weaker—a fact unknown to anyone. But regardless, the truth remained that these two men were indeed sixth-tier.

In this unexpected event, someone discovered the traces of these traitors. The two, in a bid to protect themselves, gathered many sixth-tier powers and ruled unchallenged in a world. Due to insufficient intelligence, an investigation task was issued.

Of course, although it was just a scouting task, if they could eliminate these individuals, then the task would be upgraded according to the record, granting Du You enough points.

The accumulation of points is calculated every ten years, and reaching the cumulative points required is sufficient. These points can be used as internal currency to exchange for special items or knowledge.

Du You had long coveted numerous pieces of knowledge. After entering the sixth tier, the cultivation of his advancement skills became increasingly difficult because Du You lacked much knowledge, having not received a specialist education. Once he exchanged for these knowledge resources, his skills would surely see a significant boost.
